Hear from the leading influencers in the global cocoa and chocolate sector

Examine the impact of low prices on the sustainability of cocoa production and the outlook for the global supply/demand balance

Assess prospects for boosting demand for cocoa in mature markets, origin countries and fast growing economies

Address the challenges facing cocoa producing communities around the world

Utilise new research to enhance cocoa production and develop climate smart technologies

Join stakeholders from across the value chain – farmers, producer organisations, national governments, traders, chocolate manufacturers and NGOs

Dear Colleague,On behalf of the International Cocoa Organization, its Council and its member countries, I would like to invite all stakeholders in the cocoa and chocolate sector to join us for the fourth edition of the World Cocoa Conference, in Berlin, Germany, 22-25 April 2018.

At a time when there are significant threats to the sector, and its various stakeholder groups, we have a welcome opportunity at the Conference to discuss and deal with the most difficult issues in cocoa. We at the ICCO strongly feel that these serious topics need to be addressed by all members of the value chain, from farmers (and especially from them) through the trade and industry to the final consumer.

We are able to present this fourth edition of the World Cocoa Conference as a result of the gracious invitation of our hosts, the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. In Berlin, we will be striving even more than previously to bring the whole sector and the entire chain into the discussions. To that end, we have not only gathered a range of expertise across a huge spectrum of cocoa and chocolate knowledge and experience. With the help of some technology, we are also planning to focus much more on interactivity and stimulating discussions among all our attendees, across four different areas of sustainable development.

The reason we are doing this is because we feel that the difficulties currently faced by the cocoa sector can never be solved by one element of the value chain alone.

It is only by involving producers and the consumers, trade and industry, governments, civil society and other relevant development partners, that we will be able to progress along the road toward those sustainable goals in the Global Cocoa Agenda that we first mapped out together in 2012 at the first World Cocoa Conference in Abidjan.

Beyond these core topics, we are pleased once again to be looking in depth at the Fine and Flavour cocoa sector, and the speciality chocolate segment which is linked to it. And we are most gratified to be returning to the topic of Women in Cocoa and Chocolate, which should offer us all new insights into the way, regardless of gender, we can all work together for the benefit of the whole sector.

Once again we will have an Exhibition bringing together some of the most important businesses and organisations serving the sector, and there will also be innovative sessions and more light-hearted opportunities to network and compare experiences.

If you are a cocoa or chocolate sector stakeholder, please join us in Berlin. This event is for you: to move the sector forward, we need your input and we would like to hear your voice.
